  1. Hydrogen was the first element to exist, the rest occurred during fusion processes of hydrogen within stars and their supernova.
  2. The common 'ancestor' of all elements in the Periodic Table is hydrogen. The conditions determined where and how often these elements appeared. Just like biological evolution.
  3. In evolutionary terms, 'fitness' is the ability to transfer genetic information to the next generation under varying environmental conditions. An organism that can replicate its genes through a long series of adverse conditions over others that fall by the wayside is described as 'fit'. The environment modulates the frequency of alleles (single features) by the prevalence of hostile and favourable environmental inputs selecting which alleles persist by allowing the transfer of genetic information. The environment is effectively the 'designer' of all life. That's evolution.

  5. On the face of it, yes, but not once you learn that over the last 120-130 years, the political ideology of Zionism has parasitized and concealed itself in the acceptable face of Judaism and capitalized on their suffering to achieve their territorial and, presently, their expansionist colonial aspirations. It's not actually genuine diasporic religious Jews that are causing the problems.
  6. Search 'Yasser Abu Shabab'.
  7. They are currently funding criminal groups in Gaza to harass the Gazans.
  8. Yes it's a complicated situation. ISIS is being funded by Israel and the Yazidis are victims in this mess, but it's the main geopolitical currents driving this conflict that have to be addressed first.
  9. What do you mean?
  10. The last thing any country needs is Israel as an ally in its current political configuration.
  11. Search 'portland topper coat'.
  12. This will only increase Iran's resolve to have nukes. Not surprised, Israel is a threat to the region with its expansionist aspirations of a Greater Israel.
  13. When galaxies were forming, they were much closer together. Given that spacetime tells matter how to move, could the global spacetime, as opposed to local, configuration in the earliest epoch of galaxy formation been biased in that proportion; preferentially leaning towards one direction of rotation?
  14. Apparently, it's mentioned in some late 19th century catalogues as for mustard powder. The authour theorizes that the third shaker disappeared because of lack of popular use of mustard powder sometime after. or it was replaced for the wet stuff, which negated the need for that one. Sugar use was dismissed because that was extremely expensive for common use when these things were conceived some 250 years ago.
  15. It is apparent that a lot of very rich people acquire a false sense of invincibility and impunity.
  16. The fallout has happened sooner than I thought.
  17. The Brave AI disagrees with Google AI: Gravity Strength Scale-Dependent Gravity's strength is indeed scale-dependent. On a macroscopic scale, such as between planets and stars, gravity is influenced by the mass and distance between objects. The greater the mass of the objects involved, the stronger the gravitational force, and the closer the objects are to each other, the stronger the gravitational pull. On a microscopic scale, gravity is much weaker compared to other fundamental forces like electromagnetism. This is why the gravitational force between everyday objects like people, cars, and balls is negligible. Is that answer better?

  18. Thanks Markus. That makes sense.
  19. OKIDOKI. Cheers.
  20. If the gravitational effects are trivial within the confines of an atom, why are scientists fussed that GR fails at that scale and feel they need a quantum description? Why does it matter and what use would a quantum description of gravity have at Planck scales?
  21. Isn't that approach Darwinian?
  22. A woman walked into a pet shop and was instantly drawn to a large, colorful parrot perched in a cage with a sign that read: “Parrot – £50.” Surprised by the low price, she asked the store owner, “Why is this beautiful parrot so cheap?” The owner hesitated, then said, “Well… I should be upfront. This parrot used to live in a brothel. He’s perfectly healthy and intelligent—but his language can be… let’s just say, colorful.” The woman paused, then shrugged. “I’ve heard worse. I’ll take him.” She brought the parrot home and placed the cage in her living room. Curious, she waited to see what it would say. The bird looked around its new surroundings, nodded, and said, “New house, new madam.” The woman blinked, caught off guard—but chuckled. “Okay… not too bad.” A few hours later, her two teenage daughters came home from school. The parrot perked up and said, “New house, new madam, new girls.” The daughters looked at their mom, wide-eyed. The woman gave an awkward smile… then all three burst out laughing. Just then, the husband walked through the front door, setting down his briefcase. The parrot glanced at him and chirped, “Hi Keith.”
